I'm wondering if it was a carve out that was easy to give, doesn't water it down too much and is helpful for other politics: * Sony produces semi-conductors and movies (Sony Pictures, Columbia, Tristar) * Microsoft is big in enter

I think we can all agree that the blog article, while interesting and tells a story about the way the author solved a problem, does not have high enough rigor to serve as a benchmark for "don't do this, do this instead", or &

Following you in the abstract, but still a bit confused. * "unbounded array" - are you referring to `records`? * If so, is the memory of `records` too large? Or is it that `records[i].pathname` has a reference to `fields[7]`, AND

While I agree there is a bit of difference, it's somewhat inconsequential to the end user having their preferences respected: * Microsoft: we will let you set a preference, but we will ignore/reset it * Apple: we won't let yo

When someone texts me an address, the only option is “Open in Maps” which is for Apple Maps, when I’d clearly prefer Google Maps. When I click on an address in FB Messenger, I get the “open in google maps or Apple Maps” prompt, but choosing

Just checked out your pricing. I notice you have a one time price, which gives you a year of support/upgrades. Curious the percentage of customers who opt not to get upgrades and therefore don’t need to pay yearly.

Awesome! I'm imagining a workflow where textual can be used as a progressive enhancement for a cli tool, in case the user doesn't pass in all required flags. A web frontend for that view will make it more comfortable for even mor

This looks very cool. For the web browser version which is coming soon, will the “DirectoryTree” feature be supported? Any idea when the web view will be in beta/launch?

Are there any good examples on "source available" startups, where the software can be run on-prem, can be easily modified/forked by the customer, but has a commerical license? (Thinking docker desktop style: free for compani

Any thoughts on type2 scd, when loading Postgres data into snowflake/bigquery? We use fivetran’s “history mode” for this and it’s been very useful.

Flowchart.fun looks very very cool. Solves many problems I've faced with existing tools. Has anyone used flowchart.fun for "architecture" diagrams? Which are similar to flowchart/mindmaps, but a bit different. I'm

Agreed, but at least with the override mechanism being as visible as the test suite, you have assured that more people will know about it (bringing it "to the surface") and you might even have the override in source control (docum

I've read the faq and i'm a bit confused - you are introducing me to 3 tools/companies: B2B Saas Kit, Fog Bender, and Prompts with Friends. I have a bad understanding of all 3, instead of a great understanding of one of them

Can you give some examples of what you are reimplementing? Is that going well or is it requiring hacky workarounds?

Are there any books on this topic that anyone would recommend? As a manager, this is where I struggled the most - naturally i am someone who strives to be a consensus builder, but it's hard to know when to put your thumb on the scale

Are there any saas tools which help track cloud/saas usage/charges? Or do most people build something homegrown with cloud monitors, pulling billing data from other saas apps, and making data “observability” bi dashboards. Ex: -

question - which parts of htmx would be better from an end-user-perspective if they were built into the browser? i assume "all features" might be a bit faster, but is there anything which would be night and day better if it wasn&

have you seen any interest by the browsers to build htmx features as experimental browser features, with the goal of htmx features becoming browser standards? When looking at the various options, I always enjoyed your architectural choice o

I 100% agree. This is why I think that LLM's will help encourage better coding practices, not worse. The more that you can write "clean code" (things which are named correctly, follow the single responsibility pricinciple

The most annoying part of the DRM is that the mobile app prevents you from taking screenshots. I often listen to courses while doing something else, so taking a screenshot of a slide is an easy way for me to "take notes". The id

Adriano, In the article you mention "Cloudflare" a few times, but I think you mean "Cloudfront". For example: "web-assets.strava.com resolves to Cloudflare, see the writeup on my site for details" I'm a

While your example of "site adds a modal" is true, with browser based regression tests, the brittleness I find much more often is minor changes to the DOM, which don't have a large impact on what the user sees. (Sometimes th

Has OpenAI said anything (in their TOS/etc) about who owns the copyright/ip on the code that it generates? I know it’s a legal minefield of a question, just curious if they have said “we won’t sue you if you copy/paste this c

If a bank is noticing they are getting more deposits then they can safely make returns for (like SVB in 2020), can banks "simply" return deposits to customers and/or decline new customers/deposits? Is there a precedent

I have to respectfully disagree with Noam Chomsky's opinion piece on ChatGPT. While it's true that AI cannot replace human creativity and intelligence, it has the potential to revolutionize how we interact with and understand the

Agreed. My first thought was - what percentage of the target market could you serve with coding to specs for MacBooks, which have deterministic hardware. Or if the tuning parameters exist with some range, use a traversal algorithm to find

Agreed. That’s why the before/after is so critical - no one cares about the removal of a stray wisp of hair, but I think people would be interested in digital changes to the “structure” of the person.
